On Tuesday 4th July a mixed team of girls and boys took part in the Hambleton Area Tag rugby competition at Thirsk School. It was a very wet evening and a special mention should go to Megan who not only managed to carry on playing with completely water blurred glasses but also scored some amazing tries!

Well done to all the team who played fantastically well and came second overall and being denied a place in the North Yorkshire finals by only 1 try!!

On 27th March 2017, three mixed teams from South Otterington took part in the Yr 5/6 Small schools hockey competition at Northallerton. The game play and attitude from all three teams was outstanding even when the teams had to face each other. Extremely well done for coming 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Its a shame that North Yorkshire no longer do a Sainsbury Competition for the 5/6s as they would have been very strong contenders for a North Yorkshire final.

On 14th February 2017 a mixed team of girls and boys took part in the small schools netball tournament at Hambleton Leisure Centre.

On a rather cool and cloudy Wednesday in June, two teams – made up of sixteen children from our school took part in the small schools cricket tournament. Both teams were absolutely fantastic. The Black team scored a phenomenal amount of 4s and 6s, took wickets and caught players out and went on to be the winners of the tournament. The Red Team also played fantastically well, again with 4s and 6s scored by every member of the team and loads of wickets taken by their star bowler Freddie! They may not have received medals for their efforts but they should feel incredibly proud of themselves for their performances. Well done both teams and Good Luck to the Black Team in the Hambleton area Finals on Friday!

Red Class spent a full day at Carlton Lodge participating in the High and Dry activities which included – High ropes, zip wire, problem solving and the climbing wall. The children were so brave and worked really hard encouraging each other.

Day 2

Red Class spent their second day at Carlton Lodge participating in the Wet and Wild activities which included bush craft, archery, canoeing and raft building. Again all of the children threw themselves into the activities – some got very wet and some ate huge edible bugs!!

On Day 2, Yellow Class, Green Class and Blue Class were also very lucky to take part in a workshop with Butterfly Dance School.

Day 3

On day 3 we were lucky to have the Rock-it climbing company and all of the children in the school had the opportunity to climb the climbing wall and try their hand at archery, they all did exceptionally well in very cold and drizzly weather. Also in the afternoon Green, Red and Blue Classes each had an inspirational session of Tai Chi with Mr Williamson.

Day 4 / 5

Unfortunately sports day was postponed until Day 5. However sports day turned out to be a fantastic day for both key stage 1 and key stage 2. All of the children were absolutely great with lots of cheering and support and 100% effort in all that they did. Congratulations to Joe Tosh and Louisa Tann who won the trophies for the Year 6s with the most sports day wins and to the Puffins who were the winning House Team on the day. What a fantastic end to a happily exhausting week!!

On Wednesday 13th April 2016, we held a hockey tournament between 3 South Otterington teams. The teams included a Black team, Orange team and a Red team.

The first match started; Blacks vs Reds. An early goal from JoeTosh capped a positive start for the Blacks. Shortly after, a constant attacking threat from the Blacks followed, consequently leading to a 4-0 victory for the Blacks, with goals from Joe Tart, Rafi Carus Huby and Alex Brigginshaw. Immediately, the second game commenced; Reds vs Oranges. The game started off strong for the Reds with two goals from Rory Barningham. Suddenly, a third goal was scored by Cody Holmes, a close-range drive into the bottom corner. And in the dying moments of the game, a consolation goal was scored by CharliePickersgill. The third and final match started; Blacks vs Oranges. Attack after attack from the dominant Blacks saw the result almost done. Or so it seemed. A rapid counter-attack from the Oranges saw the only goal of the game scored by Charlie Pickersgill. And the table finished as followed;

On Thursday 17th March 2016, Megan Edwards and Lawrence Mason-Smith (both Year 3 children) and myself, Elena Edwards (Year 5), travelled to Dalby Forest to compete in the North Yorkshire cross country finals. Luckily it was a nice sunny day, so we had loads of fun!

The race track was set next to a park so all the other children could stretch and get ready for their race coming up.

We all did very well – Megan came 6th, Lawrence came 25th and I came 25th. It was great because the race went into a forest which helped us to cool down. We raced against different areas around the county including: Selby, Scarborough, Ryedale and Whitby, York, Richmondshire and Craven.

On the 25th February South Otterington Primary School found themselves in the netball finals.
